I know I’ve been procrastinating the blog and the sharing of music that really does bring me pleasure. Why do I not do it then? Well, I’m a very good procrastinator, and… well that’s all I got at the moment. This year, as with last, some of my favorite finds have been unearthed by tracking down the tunes to the TV show Chuck. I always look forward to that show, if for the music alone. Actually recently the soundtrack has outshone the plot by quite a few kilowatts.

Caveat: You’ll notice my “best of” mixes have nothing to do with actual “best” albums/songs, but rather what I liked best or rather what I like at this very moment better than the others. This is completely arbitrary to my personal taste and preference.

You can download the entire mix by clicking – HERE. (As with last years mix – it doesn’t fit on a standard CD-R, I was too lazy to whittle it down (again) and I couldn’t delete a couple songs, so if you want to fit it, you’ll have to pick a couple to remove before burning, if you still use those archaic discs.)

I usually don’t list my favorite albums, but without thinking terribly hard about it – off the top of my head the ones that stand out to me in the last year are (in no particular order):

Chuck this season had some definite ups and downs, and I’m happy with the direction in which it ended. The last few episodes really started to get on a good track (imho). Though I didn’t always enjoy the episodes this year, I always enjoyed the soundtrack and it’s probably my favorite so far. I Have to say that these soundtracks from the show have been more prevalent on my iPod than any other mixes and though I already listen to quite a few of the artists featured, the ones I’ve been introduced to through the show have integrated seamlessly into the musical fray I enjoy so much. And it is nice this year when the show has been renewed for the fourth season to not have to worry about if it is going to be around again.
